I believe they just did another improvement to the shorter cross runway (prop, turbo-prop and some RJ). The 2 main runways remain unaltered as they are hopelessly boxed-in in every direction.

Runway 17/35 is being extended by about 500 feet on both ends (It caused the permanent closure of RT 291 in the airport area also). This will allow 737 and A320 size aircraft to use this runway on a more regular basis. They do use it sometimes now but not too often.
